Report: Chef slammed for twitchy fish
TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) Animal lovers have slammed a Taiwanese chef
for serving a gourmet dish that included a deep fried fish with its
head still twitching, a newspaper reported Sunday.
The chef serves the carp with its body deep-fried and covered with
sweet and sour sauce, the mass-circulation United Daily News
said.
"When eaters pick the fresh meat with their chopsticks, they can
watch the fish's stirring mouth," the report said.
Animal lovers have criticized the practice, saying deep frying the
fish while alive puts it through extreme pain.
The chef in the southern city of Chiayi said the dish called "yin
yang fish" is popular in China, where chefs use it to show
customers how fresh the food is.

"I've tried my best to offer my customers the finest dishes," the
report quoted the chef, who was only identified by his surname,
Wang, as saying.
Officials in Chiayi promised to persuade Wang to drop the dish from
his menu, the report said.
